Eternal Villain: I can enslave Reality!

Chapter 153 153: Identity

?

Along the way, Xu Shan came to know a lot of things about this world, thanks to the maid and the little girl. 

He didn't know how much of their words he could trust, but most of what they said appeared feasible. 

According to them, their destination was one of the main cities in the southern end of the Unified Kingdom. It was known as Yanxia City.

The city was considered to be the five most important cities in the Kingdom. Branches of all main central organizations could be found in Yanxia. 

Since the city was so far from Central City, it had an entire army situated to protect this city from potential enemies. 

According to the little girl, her name was Yunxi, and she was the daughter of a small clan in Yanxia. Although her clan wasn't the strongest in the city, it still held some contacts which could help Xu Shan in achieving his goals. 

Xu Shan found that a little suspicious. Why did an organization like the Shadow Temple target a girl of such a small clan? 

However, the little girl didn't offer any explanation on that. 

Instead, she changed the topic by asking Xu Shan why he wanted to go to Central City and where he was from. However, Xu Shan didn't answer her. 

....

The Carriage reached Yanxia. The guards at the entrance stopped the carriage to check it. However, the Maid stepped out of the carriage. 

"We are from Yanxia," the maid informed. However, at the same time, she revealed a small token, but only for a brief moment. 

Seeing the token, the guards were momentarily frozen. They immediately closed their mouths. 

"Are we allowed to pass?" She asked. 

The guards repeatedly nodded their heads, stepping aside. They didn't check the carriage at all, letting it pass through. 

The Maid returned to the carriage, which soon entered the City. Even though Xu Shan didn't leave the Carriage, he noticed everything with his Divine Sense. He didn't know what token the maid showed, but the reaction of the guards appeared strange. 

That definitely wasn't the reaction that could be shown for a mere maid of a small clan. This made him even more interested in the little girl. He had a feeling that she didn't tell him the entire truth. 

As the carriage passed through the bustling streets, Xu Shan couldn't help but ponder on the mysterious girl's true identity. 

However, he was sure that asking that question was useless, since she wasn't going to answer. 

He knew that he couldn't let his guard down around her, as there was something peculiar about her presence that he couldn't quite put his finger on. 

The only thing he was certain about, was that she didn't want to hurt him. He couldn't feel even the slightest of hostility so far. 

He looked out the window from the carriage, observing the bustling streets. Even though it wasn't the Royal City, it was still so luxurious. Just the main road itself was over seventy meters wide, yet it appeared to be bustling. 

He could also see some guards out on patrol. The Guards belonged to the Royal Army, and had a Phoenix Symbol on their chests, which slightly complimented their flaming red attire. 

There were many high profile shops along the way, which were selling extremely precious treasures. Unfortunately, none of it could attract his attention. That was the case for the most part. However, just as he was about to take his attention off, he felt his heart skip a beat. 

He didn't know why, but he saw something which made him feel as if he absolutely needed it at any cost. 

"Stop the carriage!" he commanded. However, without even waiting for the carriage to stop, he opened the door and jumped outside. 

At the same time, another carriage happened to move past. However, Xu Shan used his footsteps, gracefully avoiding being hit by the other carriage. 

The carriage which almost hit Xu Shan also stopped in the distance. 

"Are you blind or something?" The Carriage Driver scolded, furiously. "If you want to die, then die elsewhere!"

Xu Shan didn't care about being scolded. Instead, he crossed the road, ending up before the shop which attracted his attention. 

In the shop, there were many precious artifacts. Each of those artifacts was worth a lot of money, and was a dream for many ordinary people. However, Xu Shan didn't look at those shining artifacts. 

Instead, he looked at something in the corner, which had attracted his attention. He entered the shop. 

Yunxi also stepped out of the carriage, which came to a halt. It was the second time in the entire journey that she had stepped out. However, seeing that girl, almost all the guards on the street were stunned. 

Even the Guards with the Phoenix Symbol on their chest were taken aback. They all went down on their knees, only standing up when the girl gestured for them to stop. 

She also gestured for them to remain silent and keep doing what they were doing. After that, she followed the path taken by Xu Shan and entered the shop, wondering what he was looking for. 

All the Royal Army guards looked at each other, gulping down, but they decided to forget what they saw. If the girl didn't want to be acknowledged, they couldn't do anything. They could only play their part. The Guards continued on their way. 

Inside the shop, Xu Shan stood before a very old and neglected item in the corner of the shop. It wasn't even cleaned properly, and was simply gathering dust. 

On the other hand, all the expensive items were spotlessly clean. 

Before him, on the corner of the shelf was a small Sword. The Sword was half broken. And the remaining blade of it was also extremely rusted. 

What truly attracted Xu Shan was the symbol carved on the hilt of the Sword. It was a Star Symbol, which was extremely identity to his Star Sign in his left eye, which he often kept hidden.
